Learn & Explore Tip of the Day

Scrapbooking is a fun way to remember special events. There are various digital scrapbooking options in addition to traditional scrapbooking; but it all comes down to creating a special memory out of your photographs, complete with captions and descriptions of your experiences.

When composing a sports picture, leave some room for the action. For instance, if a runner is going left to right, leave more room on the right side of the frame for him/her to run into. This will make a big difference on the impact of the image.

Try using a preset or custom white balance in a stadium or indoor arena. Because light often is different at indoor venues, the best way to get optimal color is to create a unique white balance, which is what the preset does. Cameras vary in how to accomplish that so check your manual.

A panorama can help you capture the breadth of a great vista. With a COOLPIX camera, try the panorama scene mode or panorama assist mode. Check your camera’s manual to see which mode your specific camera has. This will help you with overlap as you shoot your sequence of images.

Don’t let telephone poles or trees sprout out of your subject’s head. Check the background carefully. Look over your subject’s shoulder to see whether any poles, trees or even cars are in the background. Sometimes simply moving a step to the left or right a few feet can make your picture much better.

Did you know that the Nikon 1 line of cameras bodies can use many of your f/mount DSLR lenses? Using the FT-1 Mount Adapter, you can use many of your legacy lenses on a Nikon 1. This is great if you have a favorite macro lens or super telephoto.

Photographing cats or dogs with a flash can cause green/yellow eyes, which are similar to the red-eye seen in humans. To avoid this, use some of the same techniques you use to avoid red-eye, such as bouncing a Speedlight or increasing the light in the room you’re shooting in.

Always bring out your camera when family or friends gather together. Even if it is not a big holiday celebration. You never know when the kids will do something cute that you’ll want to capture and if you’re busy searching for the camera you may miss the moment.

A great way to remember your trips or special events is by making a photo book. There are many websites that allow you to upload your images and easily design a photo book, complete with captions, as well as photo labs, and at the photo department of larger stores. It's a fun way to share your photographic experiences with friends.

If you’re going out with the intention of photographing a specific type of animal, do a little quick research before you head out. Knowing their habits can give you an edge when it comes to getting great photographs.

If you’re using a GPS-enabled COOLPIX digital camera and are on vacation and not sure where to go next, check out the POI (Points of Interest) feature which will let you know of landmarks that are nearby to your location.

To get the starburst effect you often see in photos, use the smallest aperture possible on your camera (this is usually f/16 or f/22) and shoot towards the sun. Shooting towards the sun will cause you to see flare in an image sometimes but this can add interest to your image. Shoot a bunch of frames—capturing the starburst with and without flare.

If you’re taking really important photos that you won’t be able to recreate, bracket your exposures to ensure the photos look great. Most Nikon digital cameras have an exposure-bracketing mode that you can set. It is faster if you let the camera do the bracketing, instead of you having to snap a photo, change the exposure, snap another frame, change it again, and snap a new frame.

When shooting video of an event, add interviews for a unique viewpoint. Shooting a birthday party—talk to the birthday boy or girl; shooting your kids sport—interview them or the coach—at a wedding—ask the bride and groom to comment.

When shooting food, simple compositions are always better. Zoom into the dish so you don’t capture the table, or zoom tighter so you don’t even see the plate. If you’re taking a shot of your meal at a restaurant, move some of the cutlery or glassware out of the frame for a better shot. It will only take you a moment to do so.

Protect your DSLR lenses. Get a good UV, Skylight or Neutral Clear filter for the front of every lens. This will help protect the expensive front piece of glass in your lens. When you get in dirty or rainy conditions, you'll be wiping the filter clear instead of risking the front element.

When shooting a portrait of a person, even if it's a quick shot, don’t place them against a wall, even if they place themselves there. Its natural for people to back up against a wall for a picture, but that usually isn’t the most flattering way to shoot a portrait. Unless you specifically want to shoot right against a wall for creative reasons, politely ask them to take a few steps forward or follow you to where you want to place them in a scene.

When shooting in bright sand or snow, experiment with the exposure compensation settings (the +/- button) on your camera. Set it for +1 to make the image brighter, which often will make sand or snow look better.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Product Tour

An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

CRC (Close Range Correction) System

The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, for it provides superior picture quality at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range. With CRC, the lens elements are configured in a "floating element" design wherein each lens group moves independently to achieve focusing. This ensures superior lens performance even when shooting at close distances. The CRC system is used in fisheye, wide-angle, micro and selected medium telephoto NIKKOR lenses.

Big sky lens
Terrific lens with outstanding color performance. A must for mountain panoramas. Great also for (some) close up photos with background. Absolutely delighted.
July 30, 2010

Fun, Sneaky, & Versatile
This is a great little lens! It's fun, tack-sharp, and you can literally shoot from the hip with it in situations where you need to shoot with stealth. If you frame your shots with a little to spare on the edges, you'll always end up with a shot that doesn't look too funky, and it gives room for fisheye software to straighten without losing important details. Great fun for getting the "whole picture", shooting landscapes and interiors, and emphasizing certain details of any scene. It's also a hoot to photograph horses' faces with this lens!
July 20, 2010

Big fun, small package.
When shooting with my F3HP's I always wanted the 16mm fisheye, but never got around to it. This time around when I got a D90, I bought this little beauty second (after the 16-85 VR). While I admit that I don't use it frequently, it's almost always in my kit and provides a perspective that's unique. The resolution, AF speed and handling are stellar. The more I use it the better I like my results - it's still teaching me!
July 20, 2010

A necessity....?
I took this with me to Europe along with a 12-24 and a 18-135 on my D300. It was used about 30% of the time on interiors of churches, etc. But I also used it at the markets and subways to capture the sense of the crowds.
Small and easily carried in a pocket. I just loved the way it was unobtrusive around people. Frequently, I would simply shoot without putting the camera to my eye to get those fleeting moments of people.
Will you spent the money? Let me just tell you this. How much would pay to have that shot or shots that you missed because you didn't have the lens? The camera is important, no doubt, but you won't get the shot without the lens! Buy the best and you'll never question the cost as you look at the results. Buy the cheapola and you'll curse yourself ever time.
Wish they would let me show you some results. You would be buying one today!

Great Lens
I received this lens as a gift ane used it on my Nikon D5200 . Crisp and clear . Lots of fun. I never leave home without it.
March 14, 2015

Great addition to the bag
This is a great lens to have in your bag. If you're like me, you won't use it a lot, but when you do, you will get some fantastic images.
There is a fair amount of color fringing going on. That's why I gave it four stars instead of five.
But never mind that. Its not a big problem. Just get one and take some cool shots!
In my experience, the key to making this lens really work is to get super-close to your subject. Then get closer. And then, when you think you are too close, get a little closer still. Play around with odd angles. And keep an eye out for your feet/knees. The angle of view on this is so large you can easily find them creeping into shots.
July 25, 2012

Amazing technical quality for the price
Per my caption: amazing technical capability and quality for the price.
One big problem...no ability to protect the front lens element that is constantly subject to dust, dirt, grime almost every time I use it. As a result, I worry that there will eventually be scratches or surface wear over time and use.
May 2, 2011

Lots of fun!
This lens is so much fun! Especially when the kids get involved, they love when you get real close and distort their faces. The fisheye has created a lot of laughs! Also it is very useful in most of the photography I shoot cause I like to use wide angle shots to get full rainbows and skies full of lightning! It's fun for all ages!
September 17, 2010

Fun creative tool
An excellent lens for throwing some creativity into your shots. While not an essential part of my camera kit I still have great fun with it. It is the lens of mine that my friends want to borrow the most :-)
August 2, 2010

Great super wide lens
Have used this over the past several years under a variety of conditions from interior to exterior shots. Performs well. There is chromatic aberration at the edges, but one would expect this on such a wide angle. NX2 does a great job of removing the distortion or left it as is from the camera. Both corrected and uncorrected images work given the subject matter. No filters, I say no problem.
August 2, 2010

Great for cityscapes taken from above.
This was always a very desirable lens for me due to the interesting perspectives it offers. I have taken several shots of cityscapes from on high looking down and the results can be eye catching.
Additionally, it is very sharp requiring little processing in this respect.
If you have limited resources I would suggest purchasing other lenses first as usage is limited by comparison.
July 30, 2010

Great lens if you know how to use it
I love this lens. You get some great shots if you know how to use it; that is, (1) get in close, and (2) get in close. I made the mistake of trying to use this lens to "fit it all in," until I noticed all my photos have a horizontal band in the middle 20% of the photo of teeny tiny interesting stuff, framed by 80% sky and uninteresting ground.
This lens really works best for distorting straight lines with funky effects if you are up close and personal. That said, I love this lens. It also doubles as an ultra wide-angle lens if you buy DxO Optics Pro, which will remove the distortion in about 3 mouse clicks. Yes it is that easy!
Two caveats:
1 - This is a DX lens and is almost useless on a full-frame camera such as the D700, D2, or D3 series bodies (unless you want a weird hood-shaped outline around the image.
2 - This should be obvious, but this is a FISHEYE lens, meaning you get heavy barrel distortion, meaning this is not a traditional ultra wide-angle lens. If you want an ultra wide-angle DX lens the best one out there is the Tokina 11-16mm.
July 30, 2010

Great FOV but could be even more.
I've had this lens since I purchased a D200. I need it in my work to capture a wide FOV from a driver's eye point while driving (mirror to mirror). Excellent lens for that purpose. Sharp and good contrast. I now have a D3 and I learned that other photographers have "shaved" the lens hood off the 10.5mm to increase the FOV to over 180 degrees horizontally on FX cameras. I did that just last week and it works great. Nikon should make the hood removable so the lens can be used on FX cameras as a partial circular fisheye as well as a full frame fisheye on DX cameras. I think all other manufactures of full frame fisheye lens make the hood non removable. A removable hood would add to the market value of this lens, especially for all the photographers now into VR and skateboarder photography. It will also be an attraction when Nikon introduces 1080 video.
July 30, 2010

Good but you need Capture NX2 as well
The lens is very good at what it does. BUT, the chromatic aberration can be quite pronounced along high contrast edges.
Fortunately, if you run the picture into Capture NX2 with the chromatic aberration correction turned on, the software does a very good job of removing a huge portion of the distortion.
July 30, 2010

Most Creative Lens
If you want to have fun with your camera then this lens is a must. It brings out the creativity in your images, Focus is sharp, accurate and fast.
Great value for money . This lens goes every where with me.
July 30, 2010

usefull
A lot of color fringing. You need to shoot RAW and correct in software.

Can anyone elaborate on why this lens is not compatible with the D5000? According to the article, the camera is a DX format and so is the lens. So why won't the lens autofocus on this camera?

I just purchased your 10.5 Fisheye for use with my D90 and D80 SLRs. I am not sure what gelatin filter(s) I might need or what size will fit into the lens. I noticed that Nikon has a series of color correction geletin filter available but it was not clear whether they were compatible with the DX Fisheye lens. I was thinking that a neutal gelatin filter might be useful.

Gel filters will work with this lens. They mount at the rear of the lens 27mm x 27mm with 5mm clipped at the corners. This alas, will not protect the front lens element.

You would need a large filter overlapping the lens by a cm or two. Conventional screw on filters would interfere with the edge of the image.

The 10.5 will not take filters as the lens hood is built in so even if you could find one you would have great difficulty getting it to fit. Not to mention the vignetting that would be caused by such an extreme wide angle.The colour correction filters you are talking about are for the SB flash units and are model specific, these are used to colour correct if need be and have no other use apart from that, they will definatley not fit on a lens.

Come on Nikon Guys. The manual for the lens shows that you can cut a 27mm x 27mm gel filter and clipped the corners 5mm and insert in the rear gel filter holder. Works for me.

Wondering if the AF DX Fisheye-NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G ED is compatible with my NIkon D60 DSLR and if so will it auto focus or will I have to manual focus? Having a hard time finding this information through the website so I thought I'd try here.

Thanks for your time

Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Camera’s such as the D40 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.

I'm interested in purchasing this lens, but I'm not sure if it'll fit on my camera body.
